I’m legitimately having difficulty following the flow of this question. The formatting vacillates between question and statement, and I am sincerely having trouble fully discerning the connection between points.

I think this post comes from disappointment with Star Wars Outlaws, which by all reports largely follows the Ubisoft formula for open world games. For this, yes Ubisoft has struck upon a formula that is applied to seemingly all of their open world games, which is indeed overly predictable. For that, I do agree that the rote steps of a collectation heavy game where the player secures territory of the game in order to advance the story is overplayed.

Otherwise, I am stuck trying to tease out the rest of the post’s intention.

Recently the 2 “highly praised” Star Wars “open world” games

I don’t know what the other Star Wars game referred to is supposed to be. Is this referring to Jedi Survivor? That game did have a number of technical problems, but it wasn’t ever intended or marketed as an open world game. Putting even that aside, why are two Star Wars games used as the pillars of western AAA games? What is the point or critique here?

A well written resume, a firm handshake, and a willingness to knock on doors is the key to success.

Internet weirdos? On lemmy?

The Sword band, and their second album Gods Of The Earth.

It is burned into my brain. Epic viking rock opera created by a garage band in Texas.

DRR DRR DRR

For me that is ‘The Dreams in the Witch House’, but that shit was 100% self inflicted.

The domain was always for me to archive the things I enjoyed.

My apparently encyclopedic knowledge of early internet culture and deep cut 80s-90s media. I knew I was well versed, but thought that what I knew was near baseline. Just recently I had to explain the connection between Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid and the movie Escape From New York to someone astonished I was pulling out all kinds of details from an “obscure” old movie.

Except for the absolute synchronized event where the person in front of you is done, and their weight is exactly what you planned on doing.

But America bad.

True neutral is carrying everything in your hands and avoiding the issue entirely.

Chaotic neutral is using a hand basket and putting it into an abandoned cart when you’re done.

Yes that new Delta Force game really looks like it is just cashing in on the attitude of modern Rainbow 6 Siege and generic modern military gameplay. Shame.

Yes, but I believe they are only a publisher. The actual dev team seems to be a two person operation with a few indie titles under their belt.

Read more better.

But I’ve never seen it done right.

So you don’t like GRAW, Brothers In Arms, or Full Spectrum Warrior. Thats fine. This game is made for people who do.

It sounds like you specifically don’t like the sub-genre as a whole. Thats perfectly fine, but can you accept that there are people who do like these games? I mean clearly, since those older titles still have fans those people exist. That is the audience for this game.

Ok, but if you are still tailgating me in the right lane because I’m doing the speed limit, I’m allowed to deploy James Bond style gadgets from my car at you.

All bags of pet food must be self sealing.

Your wish is granted. All pet food bags now have integrated AI to help with SmartSeal self sealing.

A finger on the monkey’s paw curls.

For people who want FPS single player, squad control games. The choices are really original Ghost Recon, GRAW, Brothers In Arms, and kinda-sorta Full Spectrum Warrior.

Arma is more open ended. There is a niche for a game that is out of the box squad control with missions designed around it.

Sure you can tell people to keep replaying those old games over and over, but new entries into the genre would be nice. The graphics of this new game are a mix of indie game devs knowing their limitations and appealing to original GR era nostalgia.

One is blackened rare tuna, cilantro-lime rice, korean BBQ sauce, special tang sauce, asian slaw, cilantro, scallions, and sesame seeds.

The other is tuna poke, cucumber, jalapeño-scallion cream cheese, cilantro-lime rice. diced avocado, special tang sauce, crispy onions, sesame seeds, and crispy nori.
